Game Day Traditions Only Bama Fans Understand

Julia Smith

Fall is here and so is game day, the day strictly designated for praising Nick Saban and the love of football. Other than the multiple touchdowns made every game, this SEC school has multiple traditions, big and small, that makes gameday so special. Here are the occurrences that make game day a true Dixieland delight.

Tailgating in T Town

Here in Tuscaloosa, the party starts way before kickoff. Alabama's Campus prepares for the legendary tailgate every home game days before. Beside individual tailgates at the president's mansion and Greek life homes, the quad is decorated with hundreds of red and white tents filled with prideful fans and good barbecue with an aroma that coats the air for miles.

UA's marching band has filled the Alabama air since 1912. Not only is the largest student organization on campus, but the biggest crowd pleaser on game day. You might find these members playing school favorites or leading the stadium in "Yea Alabama" every time the team makes an infamous touchdown.

Gameday Accessories

Other than OTBS being the next Jimmy Choos, Gameday accessories are a must! On the row or in the stands, you will see Gameday pins, decorative fans, and the see-through couture bags. Besides the finest polo dress shirts and chic boutique dresses, Gameday is quite the celebratory event that everyone enjoys and is proud to be a part of.

Joy Ride At Your Service

If you're not interested in filling your Apple Watch active rings, Joy Ride is your only source of transportation on campus during gameday. It might not be a five-star convertible, but it will get you from the farthest tailgate to a front row seat in Bryant Denny and not be a minute late!

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"

The Relatable Date

Don't deny it.

They talk to you like you're one of the guys, but you will NEVER EVER be included in "Bro" things

Even though you've heard the words, "Not you, a real girl" more times than you can count.

You need to caption almost every picture with a disclaimer that you aren't dating...

But at the same time, you never know whether or not to be offended when they say they'd never date you...

And your other friends are constantly telling you you were destined to be with each other.

You'd get all the girls if you were a boy because you walk them through how to get girls almost daily...

That being said, you have an opinion on EVERY girl they show you, and you aren't afraid to share it...

But they have opinions too, and that's why they'll be the first to tell you when a guy isn't treating you right... and then they'll do exactly the same thing to some girl a few days later...

And if they do happen to have a girl in their lives, she most likely hates you, because you know him better than she ever will...

But even after all that, you wouldn't trade them for the world.
